On Friday, December 8th, Camden High School was fortunate to be selected to pilot a new presentation for the nationally renowned Rachel's Challenge Program. The Chain Check event was designed to follow the popular Chain Reaction portion of Rachel's Challenge. During this time, adult facilitators worked to do activities that checked in with the students and discussed ways to promote a positive and kind environment at CHS. The event was well-received and a great experience for the students and staff.
Congratulations to CHS Senior Emily Bird!
Emily was selected to receive All-Star honors as part of the Apex Division III Field Hockey showcase held in Spooky Nook, Pennsylvania on November 18th. As an All-Star, she was deemed to be one of the best eleven players out of over 80 attendees while competing in front of dozens of college coaches.
Emily recently committed to attend York College in the Fall of 2024.
Congratulations!
Images from Wednesday's season-opening win for the girls' varsity basketball team! The Blue Devils won 38-34 over Carthage, fueled by a 22 point night from senior guard Emily Bird. Skylynn Kilgore added six points, and Layla Killino tacked on five for Camden.
Congratulations are in order for the Camden Boys Varsity Basketball team. The Blue Devils are 2-0 to start the year after defeating Carthage and Watertown to win the Watertown Tournament last weekend. Ryan Leos averaged 18.5 points per game to lead Camden. Camden plays its first home game, and first TVL game this Friday when the Blue Devils host CVA at the JV and Varsity levels.
Did you know that CHS Student-Athletes can play ice hockey? It's possible through an arrangement with the Mohawk Valley Jugglers program, which is a regional co-op team for players across the area whose schools do not sponsor their own team. If you have the chance to do so, come on out and support CHS student-athletes Brodie and Evan Buckingham this winter!
